Discussing with other merit sources, I came to the conclusion I had to modify a little bit the way I deplete my merit source allocation:
- I need to help more newbies grow in rank so as to make more valuable contributors stay longer in the forum.
- Act more responsibly with my merit allocation, distributing it more efficiently and effectively
- Find a new contributor where I can learn something new.
I then decided to open this thread, where any user, respecting the following rules, can submit an undermerited post.
Rules of the thread:Rules for applying to get a post merited:- Any rank that has less than 1000 merits.
- I consider both original topics and individual posts that you leave in various forum topics.
- Don’t submit posts that have already gotten more than two merits. If a post has already gotten 2 merits or more, I would simply skip it.
- Each user can submit 5 posts at a maximum per entry.
- Each user can submit one entry every two weeks.
- You cannot submit a new entry until I have reviewed your last one.
- Each user can submit up to 7 entries.
- No third party submitting. Every post must be reported by the author.
- I consider posts that are a maximum of 120 days old. No dead horse beating.
- Do not repost the application you had already previously submitted.
- I accept topics in any language and from any local board. Local boards are actually fundamental for the growth of the forum.
- Send me posts where you share some knowledge. Sharing a piece of news is not sharing knowledge. Commenting a news you just shared is. I want to see original content.
- No translation of posts in this thread. Again, original content only.
- Excluded Boards: Meta, Reputation, Altcoin (local boards included), Archival, Games and Rounds, Investor Based Games, Micro Earnings, Politics and Society, Gambling and Off-topic will not count. Posts in Ivory Tower and Serious discussion don't count as well.
- All applications that will violate the rules of this topic will be deleted and the author will be put on ignore. If someone is in ignore, the post will be automatically deleted.
- I reserve to change the rules to improve the quality of the thread. New rules will be enacted upon publishing on the threadNo translation of posts in this thread.
What you get applying to get a post merited:- I commit to reading all your submitted posts.
- I commit assessing the quality of all the the post, and decide if it is merit worthy of not.
What you don't get applying to get a post merited:- The certainty of a merit for your submission.
- The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
- The right to discuss my meriting choices. My meriting habits aren't under scrutiny here.
Format for applying:For the good order of the thread, to facilitate the readability and to facilitate my merit assessment, please use the following syntax to submit your merit assessment request.
Round: Cumulative number of post batches submitted for review (up to 7).

Inspiration for this thread:
Of course this initiative is not new on the forum: I draw inspiration from a few threads around:
[Merit] Share your best topics with Merit Source [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source Good luck to everyone.
Happy New month, I'm a newbie and while going through the rules of this thread I came across the part that says, "I consider posts that are a maximum of 120 days old"
I'm really bothered about it because I think my old posts that are up to 120 days old and above are not so good I must confess, I didn't know what I was doing then but now I know am improving in my recent posts and they are merit Worthy, I hope? But by the time it was be up to 120 days won't this thread be closed/locked before then?
